The University of Sciences in Unjong District, Pyongyang, is a scientific personnel training base for the basic science sector.
It was founded on January 17 1967 according to the state measure to systematically select and train students with outstanding aptitude and talents.
It has eight faculties including mathematics, physics and chemistry, dozens of courses and departments, four research institutes and scores of laboratories.
“Though the university started with only nine lecturers and 34 students in four courses, it produced tens of thousands of sci-tech personnel in the past and has now developed into a ‘pedigree farm’ for the training of scientists, staffed with hundreds of lecturers and researchers and teaching thousands of students and postgraduate students,” said Kim Ryong Sung, vice-president of the university.
According to him, the university is staffed with over 700 experienced lecturers holding academic degrees or titles including People’s Scientist, academician, candidate academician, professor and doctor.
Lecturers and researchers of the university have contributed to developing the country by making numerous scientific research hits and published them on an SCI-class international journal.
Many graduates of the university make successes in the country’s scientific research sector including the State Academy of Sciences.
The university flexed its muscle in the ICPC between 2007 and 2019 to win seven gold, four silver and two bronze prizes and came first in different international contests including the Codechef Challenge.
Today, it makes constant efforts to improve the quality of education.
Recently developed teaching methods have been generalized to universities across the country, including the interactive teaching support system between lecturer and students and the teaching method for improving the cognitive and conceiving faculties for VR and AR technologies.
